Eavesdropping Duets
Duets @ The Tank #1:
Lukas Ligeti & Miguel Frasconi
These two improvising composers join forces to create a new and unimaginable music. The combination of Ligeti's percussion with Frasconi's analog electronics brings forth a sonic landscape unlike anything heard before. At one time rock influenced, another drawing on these two composers vast experience with world music, another time creating psychoacoustic effects that baffles the ears.
Transcending the boundaries of genre, Lukas Ligeti has developed a musical style that draws upon downtown New York experimentalism, contemporary classical music, jazz, electronica, and world music. Known for his non-conformity and diverse interests, Lukas creates music ranging from the through-composed to the free-improvised, often exploring polyrhythmic/polytempo structures, non-tempered tunings, and non-western elements.
While best known for his menagerie of glass musical instruments, Miguel Frasconi has long explored the sonic possibilities of electronics. Tonight he will be using a combination of devices that enable tactile control over a vast array of electronic sounds. Frasconi is the director of Ne(x)tworks, one of NYC's leading new music ensembles, and teaches at Bard College where he directs the Bard Laptop Orchestra (BLOrk).
